strangely with both cpanm and cpan, I will sometimes get a failed install because it (cpan or cpanm) eats up all my machine memory. Then if it run it again, it installs fine and only uses a 1% or so of ram. Really makes no sense..

rurban: you are yet again completely oblivious to the context here: a person comes in and wants to try your platform ( because they heard it is better in some ways ). Instead of succeeding and giving it a thumbs up they get caught in a sea of little quirky fails. Even distroprefs doesn't help because this particular failure is new and you haven't caught it yet. *ALL* of this could be voided if you didn't blindly insist on "tests must be modernized",

I don't leave them stranded. I do respect the API. p5p is on the other side negelcting the API, constantly removing old features they are not able to fix. Even if the fixes are available. Or deprecating perfectly fine syntax, such as for qw(){}

willthechill: yea understood. I was just timing some cgi script executions. Pretty much no different. Timing a script with a few Moose classes though... took 1.3 seconds to run on 5.22 and 1.25 seconds on cperl :/
